Larry Cohen is someone who will risk all to avoid defending 1NT. He may have been several thousands of miles away at the time but South was obviously a disciple when she was there with 2heart. East reopened with a take out double but West converted to penalties.

The next question was "Could she play them like Larry Cohen?"

How would you have played when West led spadeK at trick one and switched to club10?
